Elton John/MA, USA 1979

From the fall 1979 North American tour called “Back In The USSA” held from September to November 1979, the Boston performance on October 16th was held for 2 hours and 37 minutes by an audience of the highest level of ultra-high sound quality. Completely recorded. In the first half of the show, Elton plays the piano alone, Ray Cooper appears from Funeral For A Friend on disc 2, and after that you can listen to the two perform. Elton’s wish to perform a concert tour with just vocals and piano without a band came true, and live shows featuring just Elton and Ray began with the “A Single Man” European tour in February 1979, followed by a tour in Russia in May (later It was made into a video) and went on tour in the US this fall, receiving rave reviews from fans all over the world. Elton’s live performance, consisting only of his tasteful vocals and piano, is a complete listen, and even though he sings and sings alone, his splendid slow-paced performance that never bores the listener is a masterpiece. One word. The warm audience reactions that respond to Elton are also recorded with great balance, and you can enjoy plenty of emotional time with a stable and stunning recording. This is the best piece that allows you to enjoy the attractive organization, set, and arrangement only available on this tour, with ultra-clear sound like no other. Boston Music Hall, Boston, MA.
